PA42


PA42.1 - Requisition

Use PA42.1 (Requisition) to create a requisition for a job or position. The
requisition may be for a new position or replacement position. If you are
hiring many employees for the same type of job or position, you can create a
single requisition for all of the openings.

You indicate whether requisition numbers are automatically assigned on the
Personnel form tab of HR00.1 (Company). If automatic numbering is used, leave
the requisition number blank when adding a new requisition record.

You can default position information you defined in PA02.1 (Position). To
default position information, enter values in the Status, Requested, Opened,
Needed, and Position fields and select the Fill Defaults form action. Defaults
are displayed for you to review. You must perform an Add or change form action
to accept the defaults and any other changes you have made to the requisition.
You can  change defaulted values if you indicate in HR10.2 (Position Item
Attributes) that an override is allowed.

The system uses the date entered in the Needed field to find the correct
budget record and position rules. If your position rules indicate that you use
formal positions, the position you are defining a requisition for must exist
as of the Needed date. If you use formal positions but allow a blank on
requisitions, a position is not required to open a requisition. The position
must be defined before you fill the requisition or employ an applicant. This
option lets you create a requisition for a new position before all the details
of the position are worked out.

Use the Structure form tab to specify if the requisition is to be associated
with a specific user level, supervisor, location, salary class, or other work
structure information.

Use the Replace form tab to maintain additional information if the
requisition is for a replacement of a current job or position.

If approvals for the requisition are needed, use the Approval form tab to
track the number of approvals required and the individuals who need to approve
hiring for the position.

Use the Posting form tab to define information about the posting of a job or
position, including internal and external posting dates. This information can
be used to print a posting through a standard reporting tool.

Comments specific to the requisition can be added for informational and
reporting purposes by choosing the Comments button. The system date is
associated with each comment line maintained. This date can be used for
selecting which comments to print for reporting purposes.
